Re: Nokia Lumia Series Smartphones Discussions and Experiences

No mate everything is interconnected in a smartphone. I am not saying iPhone won't ever lag. My point is IOS is a more refined OS and uses much less resources to do it's business compared to an android phone.

In a smart phone it' screen uses most battery, then comes 3g usage processor, ram and normal phone functions.

iPhone 4 has 3.5in of screen, 1Ghz single core processor, 512MB of RAM and has 1500mah battery. While Samsung Galaxy uses 4in screen, 1GHZ single core processor, 512MB ram and uses 1500mah battery. Even with identical specs iPhone had much better touch and OS and also it performance was way better than galaxy S. Then came galaxy S2 with dual core processor 1GB of ram but with 1650mah battery. Still iphone 4 could hold on even if S2 was way powerful only because of IOS refinement and judious resource usage. When ever one looks at free RAM in a S2 it will always show 300-400MB free out of 1GB.

Just imagine a iphone which has comparable specs with say Samsung S4. Then iPhone will have true PC computing powers using IOS.

If you're saying ios is better than android in 2013. Then the TATA Nano is better than Ford Mustang anyday And every os in this world hangs like my Windows 7 hangs sometimes on my Core i7 2600K rig that doesn't means Windows 7 is bad. Hanging depends upon many thing. And if you ask me Android is like the Win7 in Desktop (most versatile) ios is like someone in jail I mean you're restricted(you need to jailbreak it which is not easy like rooting in android in any means) And you're forgetting one thing iphone 4 is too costly.

Re: Nokia Lumia Series Smartphones Discussions and Experiences

Let me explain it to you with a classic example that will suit TAI.

VW Vento is one accomplished sedan. It has 100BHP diesel engine. Its main competitor is Hyundai Verna which has almost 130BHP. Even though one can never use Verna's 130BHP because of it's softly tuned suspension and terrible highway manners everyone buys Verna because its more powerful. Vento sells on average 1600-1700 per month while Verna sells 4800-5000 per month.

We Indians always look at long feature list before we buy something even if half of those features will never be used. For example Samsung S3 has 2GB of ram, Quad core 1.5GHz processor and iPhone 4 has 512MB of ram and single core 1Ghz processor. But the 3D game Temple Run2 will work more flawlessly in iPhone and doesn't work so good in Samsung. For a price of a dual core WP8 phone you get a Quad core Android phone. People will always go for Android phones in such a scenario. Sales figures of Samsung S4 vs any WP8 phones will show my point

Agreed with your points .
Yes but higher specs = superb expreince is not allways true . And i agree with you windows phone and iOS are much much refined compared to android . I used android for 3 days and changed it . If I will use a android again it has to be stellar desgin or stock android I can't stand that touch viz and all that .

no nexus 5 I don't like , I like the oppo 5 and waiting what Motorola brings . As of now lumia 720 is in upgrade line and mostly it will be a red one.

Re: Nokia Lumia Series Smartphones Discussions and Experiences

@Raja

I think 820 rates are slashed down recently, so it will be good than 720 I hope

Try the new Nexus 4. It doesn't have tochwiz and it's design is directly controlled by google so will be a awesome phone. And i do agree Touchwiz is crap. Also why don't you try Lumia 820 and WP8. It truly is a superb phone.

Dude i am not saying IOS is better than Android. I am only saying IOS and WP8 are more refined OS than Android OS. Both IOS and WP8 uses much lesser resources to run an app compared to that of Android. I got this info from my friend who is an app developer by profession for the past 4 years and has developed apps for the 3 OS.

the logic is simple.

android covers a larger spectrum of devices , a large number of chipsets,

so in a bid to provide support to many devices , the fine tuning is sacrificed.

hence many users choose to tweak their roms to avoid general apps (bloatware) and include apps and services optimised for their phones.

there is enough data to ascertain that tweaked roms give better functionality and better battery backup than stock roms on androids.

bad news for you.

the temple run on windows phone need 1 GB ram so the 620 is not compatible to run on it.

the temple run on windows phone need 1 GB ram so the 620 is not compatible to run on it.

, that means only L820 & L920 are eligible for this.

Oh no!
